After Li Teh returned to the East Palace, he sat on a chair and pondered, and after about a cup of tea, he shouted, "Xiao Yuanzi, come here." ”

Xiao Yuanzi hurriedly ran over and asked, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Li Teh asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Yuanzi, how much silver is available in our East Palace?" ”

Xiao Yuanzi lowered his head and said with his hand, "Probably, there are more than two hundred taels." ”

Li Tet opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief: "What, am I so poor!" It's only more than 200 taels of silver, what can you do, my God. ”

Xiao Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the slave said more than two hundred taels of gold, not silver, the silver slave can't remember, do you want me to help you ask." ”

When Li Te heard this, he first glared at Xiao Yuanzi, who was panting, and then touched his chest and muttered, "Silver will talk about it later, it scares me to death, I really think I'm a poor ghost." ”

Li Te thought for a while and said to Xiao Yuanzi, "In this way, you first take two hundred taels of gold to buy a restaurant for the palace in the downtown area, it doesn't need to be too good, it's too big, the location is good, and it's best not to let people know your identity." ”

Xiao Yuanzi asked with a puzzled face, "Your Highness, what are we buying a restaurant for?" There is a lot of good wine in the palace. ”

Li Te, who was on the side, rolled his eyes and said with a disdainful expression: "That kind of wine is also good wine?" Stop it. ”

As for the acquisition of the restaurant, of course, it is to sell wine, and Li Teh also learned that the wine of this era, even if it is a tribute wine, is somewhat inferior to modern beer, and he can't feel the taste of wine for Li Te, and it is tasteless.

In Lee's mind, as long as he makes some modern high-purity wine, there will definitely be many people who will buy it, and maybe it will attract a lot of celebrities at that time! Celebrities, ink artists, and those heroic knights, aren't they the ones who love to drink the most, hehe.

Looking at Xiao Yuanzi with a puzzled face, Li Teh said with a mysterious smile, "Tell you a secret quietly, a few days ago, Bengong dreamed of an old fairy, he taught Bengong a wine-making method, do you think, the wine of the old fairy, is it definitely better than the wine of the mortal world?" ”

Xiao Yuanzi was surprised at first, and then looked at Li Tedao with a look of admiration, "Uh-huh, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you must be the reincarnation of an immortal!" ”

Li Te's eyes widened, "You also believe this!" Well, sure enough, there were few routines in ancient times. ”

Li glanced around, coughed and said, "You can't tell anyone else this secret." ”

"Xiao Yuanzi swears, never tell anyone, otherwise, ten thousand arrows pierce the heart and ......" Xiao Yuanzi solemnly swore an oath.

Li Te hurriedly covered Xiao Yuanzi's mouth and said with a smile: "Don't swear poisonously, this palace believes you." ”

Xiao Yuanzi said with joy and happiness on his face, "En, knowing Your Highness, I will definitely do a good job of keeping it secret." ”

Li Teh thought beautifully, as long as he brewed modern wine, he was not afraid that someone would not buy it, and when the time came, only he would brew this wine, as long as he did a good job of secrecy, it would be an exclusive sale, and the price was not set by himself, and it was a matter of time before he made a lot of money! Hahahaha.

Of course, this is also a big project, and now the idea is still in my mind, and I want to gradually extract it and turn it into reality.

"Xiao Yuanzi, you will help the palace find an abandoned room later, I will have a lot of use, and then go and prepare some sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, corn and other grains, these are some of the basic raw materials for winemaking." Litt said thoughtfully.

Litte is very glad that he went to a winemaking school before he crossed over, and later went to a winery for an internship, so he is more or less familiar with the craft of winemaking.

Although it may be that due to the simplicity of the tools and the limitation of ingredients, the brewing is certainly not as good as the modern one, but I believe that in this era it can be called the elixir and jade dew.

There are many types of liquor, and in terms of production methods, there are two types of brewed liquor (fermented liquor) and distilled liquor. Brewed sake is a low-alcohol sake that can be drunk after a little processing after fermentation, which is the sake that is drunk in today's era in which Leet lived. Distilled spirits, on the other hand, are highly liquid liquors that are distilled after fermentation.

The first step in brewing is to crush and stir the raw materials, dry them, grind them into fine powder, sieve off the dregs, and stir the powder with warm water until the raw materials are controlled by hand and have a sense of moisture.

It is then steamed and saccharified, and in this lifetime, there is already koji, which is necessary for sake brewing, and the koji contains filamentous bacteria (molds) that saccharify starch and yeasts that contribute to the sake brewing. The use of koji to make sake combines the two steps of saccharification and liquor of starchy raw materials.

This is followed by several days of fermentation, and finally a high-purity liquor is distilled.

However, you also need a distiller to make high-purity wine, En~, "Xiao Yuanzi, go get paper and pen!" Litt thought for a moment and shouted.

When He Yue came back from the harem, he saw Li Tezheng seriously drawing something in the study.

He Yue stepped forward and looked at the steamer-like image on the paper, and asked suspiciously, "Your Highness~ What are you doing here?" ”

Li Teh looked up and found that it was He Yue who came back, and said with a smile, "You came just in time to love the concubine, this is a treasure, and you will have to rely on it to make money in the future!" ”

He Yue asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, is this the business you want to do?" ”

Li Teh nodded and said, "Well, it's almost, my business depends on it." ”

He Yue looked at the drawing paper carefully, but it was still unclear, and said, "By the way, husband, just now the emperor and the queen mother gave me a hundred taels of gold and some jewelry, if you need it, take it together." ”

Li Te turned around in surprise, happily hugged He Yue's shoulders and kissed her cheek, and said with a smile, "Concubine Ai is so good, no need, this is a reward for you, but the father and mother are really biased." ”

He Yue said shyly, "Your Highness, the concubine body is already your person, what else do you and me." ”

Li Te hugged He Yue and said with a smile, "Yes, but the money is not very short now, and I will talk about it later, but now there is really something related to the concubine." ”

"This drawing has to be manufactured by the Ministry of Engineering" After speaking, Li Teh picked up the drawn drawings with satisfaction and read them again and again.

"Xiao Yuanzi, come, you send this drawing to the Ministry of Engineering, so that they can make it quickly." Litt said, holding the scroll.

Xiao Yuanzi was just about to take it, but Li Teshou took it back again, thought for a while and said, "No, no, this is not suitable, there are many people in the Ministry of Industry, and it will inevitably leak out." ”

Li Te raised his head again and said to Xiao Yuanzi, "In this way, Xiao Yuanzi, you go to Lord He Guoquan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and ask him to ask a few skilled and reliable craftsmen to come over." ”

He Yue, who was on the side, interrupted softly after hearing this, "Your Highness, the concubine's grandfather is not in charge of things now, and now my father is basically in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry." ”

Litt started jokingly, "Oh? It seems that the Ministry of Industry has been contracted by your He family, hahaha. ”

He Yuejiao said angrily: "Your Highness~ No." ”

Li Te smiled and said, "Okay, that's it, Xiao Yuanzi, then you can go to the Ministry of Industry and go directly to my father-in-law, you have seen it before." ”

Xiao Yuanzi bowed his head and said, "No~", and went out.
